Is there anything our North American Masters sailors can't do well? Great article in Sailing World about our very own Peter Seidenberg, written by Joe Berkeley with photos by Peter Hurley. One call does it all! See it here.

This will be the first time that sailors will compete for the Ian Bruce Memorial trophy. This will become the perpetual trophy for the Laser Canadian Masters National Championship. Be sure to get registered for the regatta which will be held at Beaconsfield YC June 17-19.

As many as 111 competitors sailed 23 races in four to twenty four mph winds during Laser Masters Week sailed at the United States Sailing Center Martin County (USSCMC), in Jensen Beach and the Palm Beach Sailing Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Participants came from six countries, twenty two states and DC to compete in three regattas - Masters Midwinters, Midweek Madness and Florida Masters - that comprise Masters Week. This was a record turnout for the event sending race management scrambling to amend NORs and SIs to accommodate the fleet. The Masters Midwinters was sailed using a round robin format. Midweek Madness and Florida Masters separated the competitors into Standard and Radial fleets. Trapezoid courses were sailed on the Indian River Lagoon for the first two events at USSCMC before moving to PBSC to enjoy two days of ocean sailing on windward leeward courses in the 33nd renewal of the Florida Masters, the oldest Laser Masters Regatta in North America. The level of competition is evident in that forty different participants earned awards during the events.
